Brazil’s leader Neymar could not hide his emotions after his team had beaten Costa Rica in an extremely tight game. When the Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers gave a final whistle, Paris Saint-Germain forward fell to his knees, close his face with his hands and burst into tears like a small kid.

Why did Neymar cry? Maybe because he had an immense pressure on his shoulders, which was relieved by the victory and his late goal against Costa Rica. When the entire nation lays their hopes on you, mentally it is very hard. Neymar knows that he will be a scapegoat in case Brazil do not have a successful tournament. They have already played a draw against Switzerland, and if Brazil did not beat Costa Rica, the team and Neymar personally would be severely criticised. So the player was overwhelmed by emotions - which resulted in his tears.
